Every year during Lent, the church we go to does Souper Suppers where one group of the church brings in soup and salad on a Tuesday and we watch a short DVD, and then talk about it over soup and salad. This is yet another of the things that I wasn’t told about when I joined the choir, but tonight is our Souper Supper (and don’t get me started with Maundy Thursday and the washing of the feet).
Since Little Miss is still pretty sick, I dug down in my recipes to find something that would require minimal effort to make today but still taste good. I had almost forgotten about my crockpot black bean soup.
This is one of my favorites, and it’s a really healthy and delicious version of the soup that fits my minimal work requirement quite nicely. Crockpot soups are a lifesaver!
How to Make Crockpot Black Bean Soup

Be sure black beans are rinsed and drained.
Add all ingredients to the crock pot. Stir to combine, then cook on high for 3 1/2 hours. Stir again then cook on low for another 2 1/2 hours.
When completed, either use an immersion blender to puree or add to a blender in small batches (when hot, if you put too much in, the pressure will force the top off). I serve with a garnish of avocado slices.

septembermom – Blasphemer! I can’t believe you don’t own a crockpot. Go. Buy one. Now!
Raevyn – Oh I’m so with you! It’s so nice to just fake making something in the am and then not have to worry about dinner later in the day.
Lisa – They’re so good for you… and so cheap… and so tasty! I hope you enjoy it.
Dreamer – Yep, those are my thoughts exactly. Enjoy!
Cookie – Each week? Cookie, I cook pretty much every night. AND I work. 🙂 I actually enjoy doing this.
Brenda – It really does. The slow cooking seems to really make them taste better.
Angie – Good luck on the chicken noodle soup. They’re so fast and so easy that I just cook mine in a regular pot in about a half hour. If you did it in a crock pot, the noodles would fall apart! You can make the broth for it in a crock pot though 🙂
Crock pots rule! I’m trying to find a yummy chicken noodle soup crock pot recipe. The search continues!
I make black beans in the crock pot too and it always comes out delicious
I admire you for sticking to this every week. I feel bad that I can’t manage to avoid serving frozen dinners a few times a week. Of course they aren’t really frozen when I serve them, but you know what i mean.
This is my kind of soup, put it in and forget about it. Come back and you have an amazing meal. Thanks for sharing, I can’t wait to try it!
Sounds wonderful. I am trying to cook more beans, these days. Cheap and healthy! Thanks for sharing your recipe and linking up to Tempt My Tummy Tuesday.
YUMMY! I love my crock pot, and the variety of stuff I can fix in it.
Can you believe that I don’t own a crockpot? I better run out and get one. I always come across good recipes using a crockpot. I think it would make my kitchen life a bit easier at times. Sounds like a yummy recipe.
